Thank you, Floozy!

I spend too much time playing video games, so I'm sure all this says something about me. Fill your own here: grids.fun/t/about-me-v...

Thanks pal!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, friends. It's hard to be a curmudgeon when you're surrounded by the amount of love that I am.

TONIGHT! Birthday show at EAT with The Big Breakfast backing me up! Doors at 6, ofsunshinemusic kicks things off at 7, $10 at the door! See y'all there!

This little fella turns 37 this weekend, and he'd love for you to come out to his BIRTHDAY SHOW Saturday night at EAT in Hammond! Doors at 6, Of Sunshine opens at 7, $10 to get in!

SATURDAY! If you can get yourself to EAT in Hammond, IN, I expect you to be there as I stomp and holler into the night with my friends on the eve of my 37th birthday!

This is a dark thought, but I wouldn't put it past someone as stupid, selfish, narcissistic, and evil as him to try and bring about the end of the world as he faces his own impending mortality.

Happy to be headed back to Tiki Man Radio tonight to talk about the Big Breakfast birthday show at EAT this saturday! Tune in at 6pm at tikimanradio.com

Making a setlist and notes for a new/substitute band member is fun cause it gets me thinking about such intricate details of songs as "What key do I play this in?" and "Am I capable of counting this off?"

We're ONE WEEK AWAY from our show at EAT, on the eve of my 37th birthday! Make plans to come party with us!

Get more from James Gedda on Patreon creating both kinds of music!

It is for no particular reason on this day in which I find myself working on my taxes that I kindly point y'all to patreon.com/jamesgedda, jamesgedda.bandcamp.com, and my Venmo: James-Gedda

I was wondering why I'm feeling so shitty today, then I remembered my birthday is coming up in a few weeks. Plus this year the birthday depression is combining with the pressure of promoting a paid attendance show the night before. Gonna be a hell of a few weeks for ol' James.

SW Michigan friends! Headed to Casey's New Buffalo tonight alongside my brother Stephan Jude on violin. Come join us if you can!

My guitar player knows it doesn't take much to get me riffing.

A friend of mine (who's an incredible writer) had a line "We'll dream of the days where we dreamed of the days that we're in." It's a line I think of pretty often to help keep things in perspective.

Had a great time doing some picking out at Navy Pier today! Brought my better half along too! @awkwrdunicorn.bsky.social

TONIGHT! KnuckleHeads in Michigan City, IN with The Big Breakfast!

Perhaps the weirdest thing that sets off my social anxiety in a big way is occupying the pec deck machine at the gym because at all times you know there's at least half a dozen folks waiting for it to free up.

The next Big Breakfast show is on the books! 4/11, the night before my birthday, we're doing another show at EAT in Hammond! Save the date and make plans to join us if you can!

It's Bandcamp Friday! To celebrate, I've released Songs & Stories, a live solo EP from a show at The Chicago Street Theatre in Valparaiso, IN and it's only available on Bandcamp! Produced by Nick Rapley, this is one of my favorite solo shows I ever played.
